*MUST BE TODAY
Look at each of the newspaper’s WEBSITES and SOCIAL MEDIA
Take SCREEN SHOTS and/or SCREEN RECORDINGS…
You are looking at how the news is being reported on their website – how is it similar and different to
the printed front cover? Does the newspaper allow audience participation?
Then, record and analyse the at least 3 audience comments (their participation) on their websites and
social media (3 tweets + 3 facebook comments) – what are they saying? Why do you think this is?
